RECRUITING: Some Xavier Simpson info

Please, look at the competition at Illinois, and UW would probably run a Koenig and Simpson back court...here he would struggle to see the court if Monte comes back ( with Thomas and Cook at 2 guard)...
I completely disagree, you haven't a clue as to his court time at any of the schools.
And I completely disagree... I actually have a client I work with in Ohio who knows his dad, and he has told him immediate playing time Is very important...I think my scenario is probably pretty damn on spot on....but you just go on and disagree, as it's more fun that way....
We really don't know what the staff has told him, or what he is thinking. Based on what I know we know, from Twitter and other quotes, I don't see any reason that we wouldn't at least be in the running. Wisconsin seems to be a strong contender based on their tradition, and Illinois might hold sway over him, but we have some real advantages too.
For all we know, he could have been told that Monte is almost certainly going pro and he can share time with Donovan at the point, with Donovan playing some 2 as well. It's almost all conjecture and opinion as all we know is that he seemed to enjoy all three visits.

Your sarcasm is amusing, but understand the discussion...this is why you can count on him not coming here....
There is some info behind pay walls that would make it not conjecture. Those saying he isn't coming have more than a hunch to go on. It is a 2 man race and we are no longer running.
Iowa State fans seem to have a problem of over valuing our own players and under valuing opposing players or recruits. If Simpson is good enough he'd play for us. Reminds me of some of the folks that thought Diallo would come off the bench for us.
We would have found a way for Georges, Diallo and McKay to play heavy minutes together at the same time. A lot of it is people wanting to assign 1-5 to each player.
Ah, thanks for the heads up. Are they going on a writer's opinion, or more than that?
No it isnt what we think, it is him doing the math. He isnt a top 20 recruit so the Diallo comparison is dumb. The combo of a good juco pg already in board, a possible Monte and Prohm saying he would still take Strong a regardless of Simpson plus multiple veterans at the 2 (Cooke, Thomas, Babb) is enough for him to know their is a decent chance minutes could be tough to come by in year one. It isn't rocket science.
Since I haven't seen this posted here yet:

To sum up, it looks like Wisconsin.

If there really is playing time available for Simpson at Wisconsin then it's a good choice for him. If he picks Illinois because of playing time I'm guessing that he becomes someone that transfers because they are tired of playing in the NIT.
This reminds me of all the people here who insisted Fred would never leave before this season, even with every sign possible showing different..... Move on, we can focus somewhere else ( ideally a 4 star 2017 PG)....
